Saudi Arabia is massing forces for a possible land offensive in central Yemen and building a naval coalition after Houthi rebels blockaded Saudi shipping and struck Aramco oil facilities, escalating a Middle East conflict entangled with the broader Iran-US confrontation. This deepening turmoil in the Arabian Peninsula reflects the "wars and rumours of wars" Jesus warned would mark the last days, as regional powers align against Iran-backed forces threatening global oil flows. The involvement of Turkey, Egypt, and Gulf states in a widening coalition underscores the kind of nations-against-nations conflict described in Matthew 24.
